Lining up for Sunday’s New York City Marathon will be last year’s winner, the 2018 Boston Marathon winner and other U.S. distance runners on the rise

After Shalane Flanagan last year became the first American woman in 40 years to win the New York City Marathon, fellow U.S. marathoner Des Linden shared congratulations on Twitter. Flanagan replied, “Now it’s your turn.”

Five months later, Linden won the Boston Marathon—the first U.S. woman in 33 years to win that race. American Molly Huddle tweeted her kudos, to which Linden replied, “Head up. You’re next.”
